Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ideal meta title length?
Google displays roughly 50-60 characters (about 580 pixels wide). Titles longer than this get truncated with an ellipsis in search results.
Why does pixel width matter for meta tags?
Google truncates based on pixel width, not just character count. Narrow letters like 'i' and 'l' take less space than wide letters like 'W' and 'M', so the same character count can display differently.
